There is however a memo going around FB stating the militants gave batches of bad Anthrax shots and a “possible 100% rating”. It’s a very legit looking “memo”. So if you know anyone spouting this 100% crap, point them to this memo. Can you receive a VA rating due to Antrax shots... short answer is yes. But there has to be a medical issue that shot either caused or aggravated. I know this because one of my friends has gout and the shots aggravated it. It was confirmed by a medical professional.
